    Today my Koralia Deluxe Wavemaker finally arrived! I got the deluxe wave box with 2 K4 powerheads and 1 K3. I will probably add another powerhead to complete the set up.

    As of yet I have not set up any custom programs, but am impressed with the looks of the controller. The powerheads look exactly like the regular Koralia powerheads, but instead of plugging into an outlet they plug into the wave box.

    I still need to figure out exactly where to place the powerheads to optimize my flow to corals and reduce dead zones, so any input is appreciated there. Right now I have a K4 on the left end pointed down the tank, a K4 on the right end pointed down the tank, and the K3 pointed behind my rock structure to get rid of that dead zone.

    Here are some pics from my exciting day...enjoy!

    and a few more.

    I will try to get a video up of the entire set up in the next couple of days. Please leave advice as to possible placement for the powerheads. Thanks.

    And I am sorry for the poor resolution, all of these pictures were taken on my cell phone.

    I will. Now I just have to figure out what program I like the best, or make one that suits my needs exactly!

    Very cool. I'm interested to see how this works out for you. Keep us updated. Lots of folks looking for flow options these days.

    I will keep the updates coming. I just need to figure out what program best suits my tank and then find correct placement for the corals. I was tired of the laminar flow in my tank and that is why I decided to go with this.

    I wouldn't have if it were not for Christmas...and the fact I am very difficult to shop for (at least according to my family, but I beg to differ). ;D

    I hope so, I just need to watch them to make sure they are getting ample movement. How is the vortech treating you?
